What are you using to validate books? I mean are you using Word, or k1000
or what? What you use tells us what tools you have. k1000 has a wonderful
set of tools for dealing with scanning errors.
Please let us know what kind of scanning erros you are encountering. Many
can be fixed with careful use of find and replace commands. For instance
cornmand can be replaced by command and cornputer with computer. "1 have"
can be replaced with "I have" and so on. Often something which seems
littered with error can be cleaned.
The kind of errors and scanning problems which are much more troublesome to
fix are repeated cutting off of ends and beginnings of lines while scanning.

Please, if you find a book like that with a lot of scano typing errors, put it back on step 1. A lot of correcting can be done on just those kinds of errors with k1000. You may want to talk about your reasons for rejecting a book on this list before actually rejecting it. Then, you may find you can release certain books for others to work on who have access to tools you may not have.
